T all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, JOSEPH W. MoLiiAN, a citizen of the United States, residing 4at Tucson, in the county of Pima and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference be-y ing had to the accompanying drawings.

'This vinvention relates to certain improvements in holders; and it is an object of the yinvention'to provide a novel and improved proved sash holder wherebyrcertain important advantages are attainedand the device is rendered simpler, less expensive land otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more yfully set forth. i

vIhe novel features of the invention will be carefully Vdefined in the appended claims. In order that my invention'k may be the i better understood, I will now proceed to de-A scribe the same with reference to the Vac companying drawings, wlierein- Figure l is aview, partly in elevation and lpartly in section, illustrating a window y structure having a sash holder applied thereto arranged in accordance with an embodiment of my invention; Fig. 2 is a trans- .verse sectional view taken through the device as illustrated in Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken through one ofthe tubes herein employed.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, l denotes a window frame of conven tional construction having the opposed facesof thevertieal stiles thereof provided with the longitudinally disposed tubes `3 formed preferably of rubber and having their peripheries corrugated. The tubes 31 are insertible within vertical grooves provided in the stiles and are Vsubstantiallyentirely confined therein whereby said tubes are effectively maintainedagainst accidental displacement, yet can be removed or replaced with convenience and facility.

4: denotes 'a sliding sash having in each of lSpecification of Letters Patent.

its opposite side faces a mortise 5 adapted toV receive the bracket 6 provided with the perforate extension 7 whereby said bracket may be maintained in applied position. The bracket comprises thev opposed walls 8 provided with the open slots 9 to removably receive the shaft l0 of the wheel l1, said wheel being provided with av compressible tire l2 preferably of rubber and having its exposed urface corrugated, said tire being engageable with a tube 3, such coaction between the wheel and the tube creating sufficient frictional resistance as to maintain the sash l in its various vertical adj ustments, in a manner which is believed to be self-evident.

F rom the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a sash holder constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted foriise by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be 1 assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof" and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice.

I claiin: y y l. Iii combination with a window frame vand a Vsliding sash, a tube of compressible material carried by a vertical stile of the frame, and `a roller removably mounted in the sash and engageable with the compressible strip of the frame, the periphery of the roller `being compressible.

In combinationwith a window frame and a sliding sash, a vertical stile of said frame being provided with a groove, a tube of compressible material positioned within the groove and substantially entirely con fined therein, and a roller mounted upon the sash and engageable with the tube, the periphery of the roller being compressible.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiiX my signaturefin the presence of two witnesses.
